Looks like 052 so far.

Waking up an old thread is always sooooo much fun...

Got 732036 here in Los Angeles...

Originally a Phoenix truck, spent the first part of it's life on a ranch in AZ, then to Pasadena (no, it wasn't a little old lady... It was a little old man!, lol) about 17 years ago with the 2nd owner. I've had it a little over 2 years (3rd owner)

732000 is a halfcab.
732049 is a wagon

I have 732158, it's a U13,So far it's the earliest "known" Roadster. I hope it's the first Roadster, but who knows, that's the fun with no records from Ford in '66. The 036 truck is cool, post some pictures for us.

As you can see, it's been cut, but it'll get back to un-cut and factory fresh one day;D;D;D

BTW, I'm still looking for '66 hubcaps and a '66 rear bumper... Just thought I'd throw it out there!

What is different about a 66 rear bumper?

I got one that I won't be using

 

[DirtDonk]

May be other aspects, but the main one is straight-cut corners, rather than tapered wider at the top, like the later ones. So it's more squarish looking.

The '66 bumpers are straight and squared at the edges/corners. if you have a pic, I can tell you if it's a '66... I'll pm you my email.

i hve u15glc90680....i know it's not a 66 but it's mine

No, this one will be factory fresh, bone stock. May add some dealer options like pto/winch, bumperetes, etc...

I picked up a '71 (another rust free california car;D) that will become the lubr I was gonna build with the '66. If all goes well, 5.0efi, auto, PS, PL, PW, Hydroboost and disks, 4:11's, 33's (either stock wheels or 17's) 3.5 lift and a booming' system!

I've got 738056. Its a U15. I am assuming that means it was the 6056th off the line. Is this correct?

6065th vehicle off the line. Since Broncos and trucks were built on the same line it wasn't the 6056th Bronco. Probably more like the 1000th Bronco.

736101 here..

Looks like my '66 is an August '65 build.. 4101 off the line.. Wonder how deep into the Bronco's that is?
